(I own three copies of this game, just a fun fact)
This game has a lot going for it, mainly the interesting link battle system and the two "routes" angle. The link battle system is completely fine for single or two players, but the second you try and get a third or fourth person in there, you lose out on one of the game's defining attributes. The "routes" really come down to a couple aesthetic differences along with different segments whenever in the story the two main characters are apart. You end up getting pieces of the story this way, and are meant to play both sides to make full sense of the plot. It's a novel idea, not against it. I've personally only ever played Milla's story from start to finish. I would love to see this and Xillia 2 bundled together for a modern re-release.
